 AVI playback does not work properly January 7, 2008
This player works for the most part with regular store bought dvd movies but DIVX/AVI playback does not function properly at all. Audio is halting or files do not play at all. Machine freezes up a lot. I banged my head against the wall trying to figure out what I was doing wrong in the process of burning both cd and dvd discs with Divx or Avi movies on them. Turns out the player is to blame. I tested the discs in my computer and with a 35 dollar magnavox player. Everything works fine in the other machines, but not in this DVD player. Upgrading the firmware, and using different brands of discs did not help either. Unless you are buying this one at a really steep discount, with no intention of playing Divx/Avi files please avoid. Has trouble with some store bought DVD's as well. Not recommended.
 Serial Number M has audio fix - my newer model with Serial number beginning with R does not have problem - Links to Toshiba site January 5, 2008
The SD-4000KU2 I received as a gift at Christmas does not exhibit the sound problem. Toshiba must have fixed this in later manufacture, mine is labeled manufactured July 2007. My box also came with a toll free number 1-800-6313811 for Toshiba - Monday to Friday.
The commenter on this site provided a very helpful web link. It allows you or a technician to download a CD ROM ISO image which can be used to create a repair CD with a computer CD burner. Note the the instructions to install it only apply to those with a serial number beginning with the letter M.
Again, note that the audio problem does not apply to the model with a serial number like mine beginning with the letter R.

Audio is often unsynchronized or doesn't play at all. December 29, 2007
Purchased one and after a few days the audio would drop out completely. Thinking it was a lemon I returned it for a replacement. The new one was fine for a while, but now the audio becomes progressively more unsynchronized as it plays and often drops out completely if the video is reversed or fast forwarded. I applied the firmware patch mentioned in another review, but it didn't solve any problems.
Stay away from this model!
DOES NOT WORK November 17, 2007
I bought this dvd player and the mouths do not match the words even on brand new dvds. Sometimes the mouths and words would match at first but they would drift further apart as the movie went on. I returned it for a refund. I guess I've learned my lesson, it's not worth buying a cheap dvd player, and certainly not Toshiba. Toshiba SD-4000 Progressive Scan DivX Certified DVD Player
poorly designed November 10, 2007
The Good:
It will almost play anything you put into it.
THE BAD:
This unit has given me more problems than anything i have ever owned. It has no real functions on the face (play-eject), the coax out for digital audio causes a high pitched ringing when it is paused or stopped. This sound from the digital connection will break glasses in your home, and make your ears bleed if you have a large home theater system! Also you can not pick, switch, or program this unit with out it hooked up to the TV, that is the only place you can see anything, since the display shows you nothing.
I switched the unit for another, and I got the same high pitched thing in both units, so i returned it for a full refund!
